Speaker: Johannes Kleiner, LMU München Title: What is Mathematical Consciousness Science? Abstract: In the last three decades, the problem of consciousness – how and why physical systems such as the brain […]
Youtube Video Abstract: Characterizing many-body entanglement is one of the most important problems in quantum physics. We present our studies on the steady state von Neumann entropy and its transition […]
Random Matrix & Probability Theory Seminar Speaker: Minh-Binh TRAN (SMU & MIT) Location: CMSA, Room G02 Title: On the wave turbulence theory for a stochastic KdV type equation Abstract: We report recent […]
Abstract: Gromov-Witten invariants of holomorphic symplectic 4-folds vanish and one can consider the corresponding reduced theory. In this talk, we will explain a definition of Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants for such a reduced […]
Youtube Video Abstract: Exactly solvable spin models such as toric codes and X-cube model have heightened our understanding of spin liquids and topological matter in two and three dimensions. Their […]
Abstract: The morphogenesis of branched tissues has been a subject of long-standing debate. Although much is known about the molecular pathways that control cell fate decisions, it remains unclear how […]
Abstract: Bott periodicity relates vector bundles on a topological space X to vector bundles on X “times a sphere”. I’m not a topologist, so I will try to explain an algebraic […]
Speaker: Jörn Boehnke Title: Synthetic Regression Discontinuity: Estimating Treatment Effects using Machine Learning Abstract: In the standard regression discontinuity setting, treatment assignment is based on whether a unit’s observable score (running […]
Abstract: We revisit type IIB flux compactification that are mirror dual to type IIA on rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds. We find a variety of interesting new solutions, like fully stabilized Minkowski vacua […]
Abstract: There is a close connection between the scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM theory and the cells in the positive Grassmannian. In the context of BCFW recursion relations the tree-level […]
Abstract: In this talk I will explain the construction of a determinant map for Tate objects and two applications: (i) to construct central extensions of iterated loop groups and (ii) to […]
Abstract: The standard definition of symmetries of a structure given on a set S (in the sense of Bourbaki) is the group of bijective maps S to S, compatible with this […]
